R/R/CS: DH made Chili last night for his chili cook-off at work today. He left an hour ago with it and I can still smell it and I'm insanely hungry. 2.)

GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Nuts. Any, all, none. No nuts for me. Blech!
Testing plans: Will try to hold out as long as possible but I have no will power
R/R/CS: well I have played with the temp in CD 29 a bunch and there is a very narrow margin where my CH move. If it was 98.0 it keeps it where it is, 97.9 it moves me to 3 dpo. So I guess I will just know I am somewhere between 3 and 5 dpo. I got dotted CH, but I found out they turn solid if I remove the EWCM I had yesterday , so it isn't based on temps. My chart is attached for your viewing pleasure.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Onions. They make me want to vomit.
R/R/CS: expecting AF today since I got a bfn yesterday. I've been practicing temping so I can really start next cycle, and I have found I'm up all throughout the night (this is nothing new). It's making it hard to temp at the same time with 3 hours of sleep. I set my alarm but I'm finding most of the time I haven't gotten 3 hrs before it goes off. So which do y'all think is more important, 3 hours of sleep or same time each day?
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? This might belong in the unpopular opinions thread, but I HATE chocolate.

Testing plans: Should wait until Monday/10DPO but I doubt I'll be able to resist this weekend. I have a bunch of Wondfos.
R/R/CS: My temp went back down some this morning, after going up yesterday. I started feeling like this isn't going to be the month, after I had a really good feeling about it at the beginning of TWW. Don't really know why, no reason to feel either way. **question** How much do post-O temps really matter at this point? I know as AF gets closer I don't want to see a drop, but at 5-7DPO, does it mean anything? I know some ladies have stopped temping after confirming O, so I'm thinking no.

@hrobinson7289 I think it's different for everyone, and I've only temped for two complete cycles so far, but I see the big temp drop one day before full blown AF. I am always spotting by that point though. I have had an 11 day LP with spotting starting at 9DPO, and the temp drop at 11DPO. Then AF arrives the next day.
DS: June 2008 Married: July 2015 BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
Testing plans: FF has AF due 11/14, but is probably still crazy after stopping BCP
R/R/CS: This is my first month temping and I haven't done so awesome. Part of it is just waking up at inconsistent times. Yesterday I got a huge temp spike, but I also have a cold so I've been sleeping with warmer clothes and blankets, so I'm not sure how accurate that is. I also believe I might have had some ovulation spotting yesterday, but again I could be wrong. So FF has O day set at today but I think it was yesterday. This is all so confusing! And I definitely blame getting off of BCP... back before I started it (4 years ago) my cycle was always 26 days and not very intense or long-lasting. Sadly, for now I have 30 day cycles and AF lasts 7 days and is terrible!
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Pickles and olives, ugh. Something about the saltiness and texture. I've tried really hard to like them and can manage them mixed in with other things, but I would never choose to eat them.
Testing plans: temp was still up this morning so I POAS and BFP!!!!
R/R/CS: DH and I are still in shock and can't really believe it. We have had good timing (ED or EOD during FW) for the past 9 months so I was thinking there was something wrong and we wouldn't see a BFP.

Afton Noelle born 4/10/19 at 38w5d via natural VBAC
Testing plans: tested today with a BFN...womp womp.
R/R/CS: FF gave me dotted CH on CD18. After 4 days of high temps (wanted to confirm O) I stopped temping since I would soon be traveling for work (and temping during the TWW makes me BSC). Yesterday, my acupuncturist told me that she thinks I O'd on CD 19 or 20. Now I'm kicking myself for not temping more into the TWW! Would love a chart stalk from you ladies! (Note: the open circles are a minor discrepancy in waking times. All days are between 6:45-7:30AM).
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? I can't stand any dish made with Cream of Chicken soup....
Testing plans: FF says 11/15. I say I'll be lucky to wait til 11/10.
R/R/CS: I got my very first crosshairs this morning, and felt all giddy about it. Not super sure about our timing...obviously, I wanted to go on O day, but you know...things happen. Trying to remember that the days leading up are very nearly equally as good, right? <petting own head>
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Soft, strong flavored cheeses. Really, anything strong tasting and dairy (sour cream, yogurt, feta, etc.)
R/R/CS: My temps are still in a good spot. I've been waking up before my alarm so there's been some up and down but I feel pretty confident that the temps would all be 98 or higher if taken at the same time (8am). A friend of mine who had her first child through IVF has been checking in on my temps every day and wants me to POAS today but I'm staying strong. I know the chances of a false negative are super low at 14 DPO so even though I'm feeling good about this, if it *is* negative, it feels a little more final for this cycle than the three BFNs I already got that were peppered with SOME hope.
And if my dog being obsessed with me and snuggly is any indication of pregnancy, I've been pregnant for four years.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? I don't like seafood. Or seaweed. So basically sea things.
@JEMN It really depends on the person. I've found that I need to temp at the same time or my temps get really wacky. Others HAVE to get 3 hours of sleep.
R/R/CS: I could not wait till tomorrow to test. Something told me to do it today and it came out positive. My husband and I are so excited to be pregnant!! Now he just has to keep his mouth shut and not tell anyone. He wants to scream to the world that we are pregnant! Thank you ladies for all of your help throughout the TTC process!

TTC #1: July 2015
BFP 1: October 30, 2015; EDD: July 6, 2016- Team Pink
R/R/CS: just got crosshairs today. I am a little worried that a fever I had the other day may have thrown my chart off a bit, but I will just go with it.
Should I be concerned? I am still having cramps, but not as bad as I was having earlier this week. I have never had ovulation pain before but I am not sure that my cramps are related to ovulation. They feel like menstrual cramps. They are low and centered, not off to the side like ovulation pains tend to be. I am a bit concerned about the duration and length (since Monday) of the cramping, especially paired up with the fever I had on Wednesday. I probably wouldn't be too concerned if I wasn't tracking my cycle so closely. There was a large amount of mucus, ranged from watery to somewhat egg-white. Nothing unusual with color or odor.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? I will agree with a previous poster and say olives and pickles.
@hrobinson7289 - I usually see a temp drop about 2 days before AF is due, then it drops to the coverline or below the day before.
@sldp123 - I don't think the temps themselves matter, just the overall trend. I like to temp to stay in the habit (but I also temp during AF). If your LP is the same every month (like most people), you will know when AF is due. Sometimes you can see her coming with a temp drop but not always.
@carolinw - I think it looks good for CD18. Not sure why she would say that but your temps point to CD18 IMO.
@AndiPandi127 - I do think the days leading up to O (or the day after) are equally as good. I like to think the egg is getting a head start and is already halfway down the fallopian tube when the sperm shows up. Yes, I watched the Great Sperm Race and am a huge nerd lol.
Testing plans: I just realized that FF is recommending that I test FOUR days after AF is expected. Say what? Hells no. I'll probably test tomorrow AM.
R/R/CS: I feel great and I'm in a very perky mood today. The office is having trick or treat for the kids of the employees today. I love bringing my son and seeing all the cute costumes. OH and I recorded the highest temp of my cycle this AM so weeee!
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)?
A lot of mine were mentioned: blueberries, cantaloupe & honeydew, all seafood except for shellfish and my addition is sweet potatoes. My brain cannot wrap itself around a potato being sweet. I have tried it over and over but nope, I can't do it.
@hrobinson7289 everyone is a little different when it comes to temp drops. Mine comes about two days before AF.
@sldp123 I don't think there is a huge point in temping in the tww. Some ladies like to do it to be sure they O'd. Personally I analyze every little spike/dip and it makes me crazy!

R/R/CS: blah.. temps went down today significantly. I was going to test tomorrow but if it stays low, I am going to assume AF is coming. What a way to welcome in the weekend....
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Anything with liver in it... BLAH
@ButterMyBiscuit - Yea, when you are new to temping, FF will give you a test date of 4 days after expected AF. Strange. I wonder if anyone actually waits that long. Not me lol...
R/R/CS: I'm so confused. I'm two days past my longest LP ever (average 12 days), and got a BFN this morning on a Wondfo. I have no idea what is going on, but temps are still up, and it generally drops the day of AF. I've attached my chart for anyone who might know anything about what's happening here.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? I don't like oranges or any orange flavored things.
R/R/CS: BFN on clearblue digital this AM, but my temps are still high and still no signs of AF so I'm holding out hope. I bought gummy bears and 5 dollar store tests this AM so I am cheering myself up with candy for breakfast and planning on peeing on all of the things and drinking until I get a period or a positive this weekend.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? raw tomatoes!! blech!
*editing to add @ArtlessIbex I'm in the exact same place, it's so frustrating. FX for both of us!
R/R/CS: I don't really feel any pg symptoms right now. My temps are super high but I am pretty sure it is the progesterone supplements my RE has me taking.

R/R/CS: It's finally Friday I'm so excited!!! I'm going out to get myself a BBT this weekend, so I can start temping next cycle. I'm such a planner, so the unknown really drives me crazy. I think being able to confirm when O is will help put my mind at ease. Also, we are moving at the end of December, so I have to start packing this weekend. I hate packing.

Testing plans: BFN this AM so I will be continuing everyday until AF or BFP
R/R/CS: TMI & Let me just be the first to acknowledge how crazy this is going to sound. 2 days ago (10dpo) I had one instance of brown blood discharge when I went pee. Yesterday I started super lightly spotting but it stopped late evening. (I've only had spotting as my period starts, its never just stopped before). I'm honestly ready for AF just to start so that I can stop driving myself crazy with every little thing. And I'm fully committed to Drink till its Pink because after a my glass of wine last night I was so much less stressed. And yesterday just kind of sucked for more reasons, I felt like crying so I went home after a lunch meeting and laid down for about an hour before I had to come back to work for my afternoon appt.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Whole shrimp. I can do it in sushi, but I can't bite through the muscle-y texture.

Testing plans: Another BFN. This sucks. AF is due today....
R/R/CS: I haven't had any spotting yet, and my temp has only dipped just slightly, only by like 0.15 from yesterday, but at this point I'm still fully expecting AF to arrive maybe tonight or tomorrow. We'll see. And now I probably have no explanation for the weird, dull, faint cramps I had all day long 6-9 dpo... My body must just be evil.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Too many to list here. Things that are commonly in foods that other people/restaurants make include: onions (unless onion rings), green onions, celery, cilantro.
Testing plans: BFN this morning. Will try again on Sunday as that's when AF is due

R/R/CS: FF gave me dotted CH on CD18. After 4 days of high temps (wanted to confirm O) I stopped temping since I would soon be traveling for work (and temping during the TWW makes me BSC). Yesterday, my acupuncturist told me that she thinks I O'd on CD 19 or 20. Now I'm kicking myself for not temping more into the TWW! Would love a chart stalk from you ladies! (Note: the open circles are a minor discrepancy in waking times. All days are between 6:45-7:30AM).
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? I can't stand any dish made with Cream of Chicken soup....
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: -1,0
Testing plans: I'd like to hold out until 11/5
R/R/CS: Rant - there is candy everywhere at work and I can't resist! It's so hard to stick to a diet when all these goodies are tempting me!
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Honeydew and cantelope
DD #2: EDD July 2016
CD/DPO: 17/3
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Testing plans: FF says 11/15. I say I'll be lucky to wait til 11/10.
R/R/CS: I got my very first crosshairs this morning, and felt all giddy about it. Not super sure about our timing...obviously, I wanted to go on O day, but you know...things happen. Trying to remember that the days leading up are very nearly equally as good, right? <petting own head>
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Soft, strong flavored cheeses. Really, anything strong tasting and dairy (sour cream, yogurt, feta, etc.)
CD/DPO: 27/13
Timing: -2, 0
Testing plans: Tomorrow morning! Eep!
R/R/CS: My temps are still in a good spot. I've been waking up before my alarm so there's been some up and down but I feel pretty confident that the temps would all be 98 or higher if taken at the same time (8am). A friend of mine who had her first child through IVF has been checking in on my temps every day and wants me to POAS today but I'm staying strong. I know the chances of a false negative are super low at 14 DPO so even though I'm feeling good about this, if it *is* negative, it feels a little more final for this cycle than the three BFNs I already got that were peppered with SOME hope.
And if my dog being obsessed with me and snuggly is any indication of pregnancy, I've been pregnant for four years.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? I don't like seafood. Or seaweed. So basically sea things.
CD/DPO: 23/2
Timing: -2, O
Testing plans: Next week some time. I have Wondfos and am a POAS addict so who knows.
R/R/CS: Excited to have four days off in a row with DH! Today is hiking with the dog and tomorrow is our annual Halloween party.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)?
Lots of congratulations @Margo412! Weeeeee!!
CD/DPO: 16/4
Timing: -4, -3, -1, +1
Testing plans: next Thurs (10dpo). I only like to test when I have the day off, that way I can surprise DH if it's positive!
R/R/CS: I can't believe my temp went up again today. Trying not to read too much into it...
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Olives...gross!!
Month/cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO:31/11
Timing: -5-4-3 0
Testing plans: BFP today
R/R/CS: I could not wait till tomorrow to test. Something told me to do it today and it came out positive. My husband and I are so excited to be pregnant!! Now he just has to keep his mouth shut and not tell anyone. He wants to scream to the world that we are pregnant!
Thank you ladies for all of your help throughout the TTC process!
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)?
Cottage cheese
Month/cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 17/2
Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,0,+1,+2
Testing plans: None at this point
R/R/CS: Not sure if I believe FF
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Fried eggs
ETA: congratulations @BeachTigress!!
And got my - & + mixed up
DS1 -- 9/30/2016
CD/DPO: 21/3
Timing: -4, -1, 0
Testing plans: next Saturday
R/R/CS: just got crosshairs today. I am a little worried that a fever I had the other day may have thrown my chart off a bit, but I will just go with it.
Should I be concerned? I am still having cramps, but not as bad as I was having earlier this week. I have never had ovulation pain before but I am not sure that my cramps are related to ovulation. They feel like menstrual cramps. They are low and centered, not off to the side like ovulation pains tend to be. I am a bit concerned about the duration and length (since Monday) of the cramping, especially paired up with the fever I had on Wednesday. I probably wouldn't be too concerned if I wasn't tracking my cycle so closely. There was a large amount of mucus, ranged from watery to somewhat egg-white. Nothing unusual with color or odor.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? I will agree with a previous poster and say olives and pickles.
CD/DPO: 26/10
Timing: -5, -3, -2, 1
Testing plans: I just realized that FF is recommending that I test FOUR days after AF is expected. Say what? Hells no. I'll probably test tomorrow AM.
R/R/CS: I feel great and I'm in a very perky mood today. The office is having trick or treat for the kids of the employees today. I love bringing my son and seeing all the cute costumes. OH and I recorded the highest temp of my cycle this AM so weeee!
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)?
Congrats to both of you!!
@hrobinson7289 everyone is a little different when it comes to temp drops. Mine comes about two days before AF.
@sldp123 I don't think there is a huge point in temping in the tww. Some ladies like to do it to be sure they O'd. Personally I analyze every little spike/dip and it makes me crazy!
Month/cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 18/4
Timing: -2,-1, 0,+1
Testing plans: 16dpo if no AF
R/R/CS: Not much. Happy it's Halloween weekend which means I can finally open the giant box of chocolate that's been in my house for the last week!
GTKY-What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)?
Cilantro. Yuck!
Surgery Dec 2016: submucosal fibroid removed
Awaiting RE appointment
CD/DPO: 25/9
Timing: -3,-2,O,+1
Testing plans: If temps ever go up
R/R/CS: blah.. temps went down today significantly. I was going to test tomorrow but if it stays low, I am going to assume AF is coming. What a way to welcome in the weekend....
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Anything with liver in it... BLAH
CD/DPO: 29/15
Timing: O day only
Testing plans: Every day forever
R/R/CS: I'm so confused. I'm two days past my longest LP ever (average 12 days), and got a BFN this morning on a Wondfo. I have no idea what is going on, but temps are still up, and it generally drops the day of AF. I've attached my chart for anyone who might know anything about what's happening here.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? I don't like oranges or any orange flavored things.
Month/cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 27/14
Timing: -3,-2,-1,0
Testing plans: ED til AF
R/R/CS: BFN on clearblue digital this AM, but my temps are still high and still no signs of AF so I'm holding out hope. I bought gummy bears and 5 dollar store tests this AM so I am cheering myself up with candy for breakfast and planning on peeing on all of the things and drinking until I get a period or a positive this weekend.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? raw tomatoes!! blech!
CD/DPO: 24/11
Timing: -3, -1, 0, +1
Testing plans: Monday
R/R/CS: I don't really feel any pg symptoms right now. My temps are super high but I am pretty sure it is the progesterone supplements my RE has me taking.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Anything with mushrooms.

Month/cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 28/5ish Not temping this cycle but that's my guess based on CM and such
Timing: EOD
Testing plans: If AF doesn't show, so around 15 DPO
R/R/CS: It's finally Friday I'm so excited!!! I'm going out to get myself a BBT this weekend, so I can start temping next cycle. I'm such a planner, so the unknown really drives me crazy. I think being able to confirm when O is will help put my mind at ease. Also, we are moving at the end of December, so I have to start packing this weekend. I hate packing.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Mushrooms! Something about the texture.
Me: 28 DH: 29
Married: August 2014
TTC #1 Since March 2015
Diagnosed with PCOS March 2016
SA results normal April 2016
3 rounds clomid + trigger + TI = BFN
3 rounds clomid + trigger + IUI = BFN
Uterine polyp removed July 2017
Round 1 IVF January 2018
Testing plans: BFN this AM so I will be continuing everyday until AF or BFP
R/R/CS: TMI & Let me just be the first to acknowledge how crazy this is going to sound. 2 days ago (10dpo) I had one instance of brown blood discharge when I went pee. Yesterday I started super lightly spotting but it stopped late evening. (I've only had spotting as my period starts, its never just stopped before). I'm honestly ready for AF just to start so that I can stop driving myself crazy with every little thing. And I'm fully committed to Drink till its Pink because after a my glass of wine last night I was so much less stressed. And yesterday just kind of sucked for more reasons, I felt like crying so I went home after a lunch meeting and laid down for about an hour before I had to come back to work for my afternoon appt.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Whole shrimp. I can do it in sushi, but I can't bite through the muscle-y texture.
TTC since 7/2015
BFP 12/24/2015 Miscarriage 3/4/2015 at 14 weeks
Baby Girl BFP 9/10/2016 EDD 5/23/17
CD/DPO: 29/10
Timing: EOD, ED in FW
Testing plans: Another BFN. This sucks. AF is due today....
R/R/CS: I haven't had any spotting yet, and my temp has only dipped just slightly, only by like 0.15 from yesterday, but at this point I'm still fully expecting AF to arrive maybe tonight or tomorrow. We'll see. And now I probably have no explanation for the weird, dull, faint cramps I had all day long 6-9 dpo... My body must just be evil.
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? Too many to list here. Things that are commonly in foods that other people/restaurants make include: onions (unless onion rings), green onions, celery, cilantro.
CD/DPO: 22/14-15?
Timing: EOD
Testing plans: BFN this morning. Will try again on Sunday as that's when AF is due
R/R/CS: I was shocked when I got on the board and saw that so many women had already posted to TWW! It's not even 7:30 yet! Then I realized that perhaps not all the people in the world are in the Pacific Time Zone!
GTKY- What is your LEAST favorite food (what can't you stand to eat)? I hate coffee very very much.
Month/cycle: 5/4
